So, you are saying that the govt would kill you over a squabble over some domain? Or that they would invade Tobago just to get their TLD? The govt can be made to tell you things, see the Freedom of Information Act. Companies don't have to say anything, unless they are caught, and then it in not necessarily so.
The govt is no more corrupt than any company that would ever control ICANN. The only diff is that the govt can/will (for the most part) let everyone know what is going on. A company does not have to let you in on squat.
I said I would observe all the niceties, including informing their ISP that one of their clients has entered into a binding contract to give me the right to hack through their system to break his box.
I think the ISP would consider that against their TOS (terms of service) and cancel the shithead^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hspammer's account fairly quickly - which is the real goal here, isn't it?
Well, I think it will be you who has their account canceled. This would not float at the ISP that I do abuse desk work at and I doubt it would help you out at any other ISP.
Besides, I'm not stupid. It's a legally binding contract, I can assign it to anyone I choose. Think there aren't a few people who would like to try it out?
Last, but not least: if they do spam, and thus opt-in, they are the ones who are, in effect, saying - "we have agreed that you should come and remove your name by hacking through the boxes connected to us." Now, since they don't have that right in the first place, they are guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation, and this is more ammunition that the ISP can use to shut them down immediately..
So, rather than waiting for the law to catch up, we're using existing laws to can the spam.
Well, if you really aren't stupid, you SHOULD run this by a real lawyer. Just cause you say it is a legal contract, does not make it so. Considering what happens to crackers nowadays, I would not want to be the first person to try this with out some good legal advice.
Not to pee on your parade, but I would run that by a real lawyer before you start hacking. I honestly don't think that is going to fly. If a spammer is (ab)using a third party's mail-relay, or open proxy, or formmail script, your 'contract' is not going to be worth much. But, honestly, if it works, more power to ya!
Reading Jon Katz makes me wanna smoke crack, Log out of my accounts, and never come back. Reading Jon Katz makes me wanna get high, When I see his name, I just want to cry.
And everything's a conspiracy And everything's gay And everyone's a victim And everyone gets their way
...Of those posts's I flame him all day.
Hey, Alright Katz...woah Makes me want to smoke Crack Log out of my account And I am never coming back Reading Katz makes me want to get high... as Keith Moon
Um... If you want to 'get some' I suggest you don't wear anything that has perl on it. Might as well wear a shirt proclaiming '30 year old virgin'.:) What looks cool to us geeks does not look cool to the hot chicks that we try to pick up.
More importantly, the people need to CARE. The People don't care because this does not concern them (in their eyes). The People can still watch their DVDs, so why should they care if a few people can't copy DVDs?

Nope, just trying to get in the the plus range of karma, so I can just auger it back down to negative again.
And a company would never ever do anything illegal, right? :)
My guess is Slashdot paid for it. Seeing how many hits they are going to be able to get by 'exposing' it, they got a good deal. :)

It isn't as if they could fuck it up more than it already is.
Nice typo-flame, fag.
Shit, you think anyone here BUYS anything?!? You would get more sales by advertising to the bums at a homeless shelter. :)

You are kidding, right? I hope you have not deluded yourself to believe that sending an email will absolve you of any legal issues with hacking.
Newsflash: Eminem is not an artist. He is a product of some corp record label. He is as much of an artist as any ranting kook on a street corner.

Since the first spam was sent. Spammers spam because it works. It is slimy and scummy, but it works. Why else would they do it? :)
Um... If you want to 'get some' I suggest you don't wear anything that has perl on it. Might as well wear a shirt proclaiming '30 year old virgin'. :) What looks cool to us geeks does not look cool to the hot chicks that we try to pick up.
Don't tell me that. Tell 'The People'. You are just preaching to the choir here.
More importantly, the people need to CARE. The People don't care because this does not concern them (in their eyes). The People can still watch their DVDs, so why should they care if a few people can't copy DVDs?
Way to plug your site, Linux Freak.

We'll be waiting for you at the airport, if you come over.
Time to fire up the proxy (ab)user and start trollin'!

Did 'Sarah' have an Adams Apple and large hands feet?
Because he is using them for DNS as well.
